Monster Jam is coming to Kansas City in January, bringing Grave Digger and other monster trucks to T-Mobile Center to compete, entertain and smash.

Monster Jam is an enormous production viewed by millions of people annually. However, it didn't begin that way. Monster truck racing dates to the lifted pickup days of the early 1970s.

Monster Jam starts at 3 p.m., but the gates open at 1 p.m. To get in before then, you need a pit pass. If you have one, you will be able to get in at 10:30 a.m.
